CDC Now Recommending Face Masks, Trump Says

President Donald Trump said he wouldn’t be wearing a face mask even as he announced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent is now suggesting Americans do so.

“I’m feeling good. I don’t know. Somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t see it for myself,” the president said Friday during the daily White House briefing.

“Maybe I’ll change my mind. This will pass and hopefully, it will pass quickly,” Trump added. “That being said, if someone wants to, most people could just make something. So it’s very simple to do. I won’t be doing it personally. It’s a recommendation.”

Trump also announced that the federal government would be covering the cost of uninsured Americans getting tested and treated for COVID-19.

Further, responding to a question, he said he believed the Nov. 3 election should go forward with in-person voting at booths and voter ID.

Surgeon General Jerome Adams explained why most public health organizations and professionals in the United States and globally have done an about-face on wearing masks.

“We have always recommended that symptomatic people wear a mask, because if you’re coughing, if you have a fever if you are symptomatic, you could transmit the disease to other people,” Adams said.

“What has changed in our recommendation? It’s important to know that we now know from recent studies that a significant portion of individuals with coronavirus lack symptoms. They’re what we call asymptomatic. Even those who eventually become presymptomatic, meaning that they will develop symptoms in the future, can transmit the virus to others before they show symptoms,” he said.

“In light of this new evidence, CDC recommends, and the task force recommends, wearing cloth face coverings in public where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. These include places like grocery stores and pharmacies,” Adams added.

Trump tried to assure uninsured Americans they will be covered if they seek treatment.

“I can so proudly announce that hospitals and health care providers treating uninsured coronavirus patients will be reimbursed by the federal government using funds from the economic relief package passed last month,” Trump said. “This should alleviate any concern uninsured Americans may have about seeking the coronavirus treatment.”

“Under the president’s direction, we will use a portion of that funding to cover provider’s costs for delivering COVID-19 care for the uninsured, sending the money to providers through the same mechanism used for testing,” Azar said. “As a condition of receiving funds under this program, providers will be forbidden from balanced billing the uninsured for the cost of their care. Providers will be reimbursed at Medicare rates.”

Trump later took a question about the upcoming election, and expressed his opposition to going all mail-in ballots.

“The general election will happen on Nov. 3,” Trump said, adding:

I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting. I think people should vote with ID, voter ID. I think voter ID is very important. The reason they don’t want voter ID is because they intend to cheat. When you get something, when you buy something, you look at your cards and credit cards, you have your picture on many of them, not all of them but many of them. You should have a picture for voting. It should be called voter ID. It shouldn’t be mail-in voting.

It should be you go to a booth and you proudly display yourself. You don’t send it in the mail where people pick up. All sorts of bad things can happen by the time they sign that, if they sign that. By the time it gets in and it tabulated, no, it shouldn’t be mailed in. You should vote at the booth and you should have voter ID.

Per WHO statistics CoVid-19 is a non-event for 192 countries out of 212.

This flu bug variant is focused on countries wealthy enough or social enough to keep the too old and too sick too long past their shelf life.

Just culling the herd.

The asymptomatic ratio is over 90% for 200 out of the 212, 94%. That means that 90% of the identified cases didn’t end up either hospitalized or dead. If they got sick at all they slugged it out at home. (China apparently hospitalized ALL its cases. Might have been an unhelpful practice.)

How LETHAL is THAT?

How ’bout NNNOOOTTT!!!!!

WHO has three categories: case, recovered, dead.
A case data point becomes a recovered data point when it enters and leaves reported (insurance) formal care, i.e. doctor or hospital.
A case data point becomes a dead data point when the obvious happens.
A case that does neither might have gotten sick or not but recovered on their own and do not register as one of the other data points.
If a large number of cases do not admit/discharge or die then the contagious and lethal threat of CoVid-19 is grossly exaggerated.

Well, duh. Yah think?!

Look around, there is no evidence of large scale community spread which ineffective social distancing and masks address.
No community spread makes 250,000 US deaths pretty much impossible.
I ran errands all around town today. The community is largely ignoring the whole affair. They know lying bull shit when they hear it and that’s about all we have gotten from the press and government for way too many years, now.

Putin: Obama “Idiot” For Adopting Socialism

MOSCOW (SR) – Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned the Obama administration against adopting further socialism, saying Russian history clearly proves it is a recipe for failure. “Any fourth grade history student knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history,” said Putin. “President Obama and his fellow Democrats are either idiots or deliberately trying to destroy their own economy.” ...
